SOAP::Lite and uri/urn

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using SOAP::Lite to make a call:

$HOST = "http://localhost/devel/soap_mini/echo.cgi";
$NS   = "urn:/SOAPY/Echo";
$PHRASE = shift;
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
  ->readable(1)
  ->uri($NS)
  ->proxy($HOST);
[download]

The call works and I get the correct data back but I am getting errors in my httpd-error.log file:

[Tue Jan 21 11:08:07 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Illegal namespac
+e identifier '/soapy/echo' for URN 'urn:/SOAPY/Echo' at /usr/local/li
+b/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2097
[download]

What is the correct format for the uri() call?

Thanks

Edit by tye, change PRE around all to CODE parts

I always thought that URIs had to have two forward slashes after the protocol. You wrote only one. Update Well I goofed. URN does not mean URI. It does however look like you are using a reserved character (slash) in your namespace identifier. A probable reformulation of your URN: `urn:SOAPY:echo`. You'll want to revisit RFC 2141 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt. The grammar is right up front so it's not imposing or anything. Seeking Green geeks in Minnesota	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for the response. This morning I changed: `$NS = "urn:SOAPY/Echo";` [download] to `$NS = "SOAPY/Echo";` [download] and it worked with no errors.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's good you don't get an error. I'm sceptical of this approach though. The parameter name is URI. You mentioned URNs. "SOAPY/Echo" isn't valid as either a URI or as a URN. Either that or it's ok as a relative URI fragment but all in all this just looks fishy to me. Seeking Green geeks in Minnesota	[reply]
